# Imperial Cook vs Bake

The clearest difference is rating: Imperial Cook at 5.0 against Bake's 4.4. Imperial Cook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bake's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (34 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Imperial Cook sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Bake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Imperial Cook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bake has 34 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Imperial Cook ships an update every 31 months, Bake every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
